[Test-Equipment] Slight OT: Simpson leather case

[Mike Sloane]

Thanks, Ed. I stand corrected and re-wrote the caption on the image in 
my album. Since I took the picture, I removed the leather handle and 
tucked it down into the compartment for the test leads - with the 
original handle in place, it pushed the sides of the case out in an 
awkward looking manner.

But that doesn't get me any closer to replacement cover...

I took a look under the covers to see if I could do something about the 
lack of AC measurement, but dealing with that rat's nest isn't for the 
faint of heart. And someone had already been in there and made some 
modifications. So I just closed it back up.
